The fsck problem occurred after installing f2fsprogs. Modified the fstab file to skip checking.

Next step is wireless. Seems like wpa_supplicant-gui is also among the missing. Never knew I was so dependent on graphical tools for configuration. Still have a set of Linux Slackware diskettes
from around 1993.

When copying the memory device to a host I expect dd to generate an 8-Gbyte file. That is ok for my limited use but we have a RPi users group near by which is what started this trip down the black hole. Will get another memory device to experiment with shrinking
the partitions.

This may be a sign that the SD card has gone bad.  I've been through
this; lesson learned is that once you have a stable environment, remove
the SD, put it in another computer, and copy an image of it.  So when it
goes bad you don't have to recreate all of your efforts.

It's plausible. Or it could just be an unclean shutdown. Put the card into another machine, fsck it to make it "clean". It should work then. By all means grab a backup copy of it at the same time.
